Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

Chapter 210 To the General's Mansion

Li Luo said with a half-smile: "I am indeed from the capital. I think you are a smart person, and I don't like talking to foolish people, because foolish people always don't understand their position."

The groom was startled, the little boy spoke so sharply.Even an adult like him couldn't help but be taken aback by his words.

"My eldest aunt is an honest person, and my eldest sister is also a filial daughter. If you want to find a virtuous wife, she is indeed very suitable." Li Luo paused and said, "Since my eldest sister wants to stay with her mother Kiss me, and I won't let you suffer. She is a girl, and it will take seven or eight years to raise her until she gets married, and she doesn't spend much money all year round. I will give you 100 taels."

what?

The little boy speaks for a hundred miles, and speaks clearly, which is not easy.

"100 taels until she gets married, I hope you will find an honest and responsible man for her. If the other party is of a good family background and wants a dowry, you can go directly to Li Siniang in Lijia Village and I will explain it to you." Li Luo said, "Of course , you can come to the Zhongyonghou Mansion in the capital to find me, or you can go to the Songling County Magistrate."

The groom dared not say anything any more.Li Luo had already seen through the little cleverness and tricks he thought.

After dinner, Li Luo and others left.Before leaving, Li Luo also gave the one hundred mile silver promised.Of course, Li Luo didn't tell his aunt and sister about the hundred li of silver, it was a private agreement between him and the groom.

It was already midnight when we returned to Lijia Village.Grandma Li didn't dare to sleep all night until her grandson came back. She heard a little noise outside in the middle of the night, so she ran out to watch.Not only her, but even Grandma Zeng, who is in her 60s, came out.Seeing that Li Luo came back safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, Gu Junchen slept in Li Luo's room.

"Go back to the barracks tomorrow. You live in the general's mansion. I can't leave the barracks for too long." Gu Junchen said.

"Okay." Originally, he only planned to live here for a few days.

The next day, Li Luo called Li Siniang and Grandma Li alone, and told them about the eldest aunt and eldest sister.Grandma Li doesn't care about her eldest sister. The eldest sister is a granddaughter after all, and now that the family conditions are better, she also wants to have more children, so Grandma Li is a little bit reluctant about her eldest sister.

But she has always listened to her grandson, and the grandson has already agreed, so she forgets it.But for Li Siniang's second child, she is more active, hoping that Li Siniang will take good care of her body and strive to have another child as soon as possible.

Of Li Luo's 500 cotton vests, 200 of them were distributed to the guards of Prince Qi's mansion who secretly followed Li Luo to the northwest. , Xin Bao, Xiao Ba and the nine guards around Li Luo got two pieces each.There are 40 pieces in total.

The rest were given to Li Zhongming and Li Dan to take two pieces, a total of 244 pieces, and the remaining 250 pieces were placed in the room of Li Luo in the Li family.The other six were packed and taken away.

"What's the big gift you mentioned yesterday?" Gu Junchen is actually a very patient person, but for the big gift that Li Luo said

He is really curious, every time this little bastard can always arouse his curiosity.

Li Luo looked back at Lijia Village and looked at a large piece of land: "I negotiated a deal with the Songling County Magistrate. In the future, I plan to purchase food for the Northwest Army in Songling County. One tael of silver is 150 catties of rice. I asked him to talk to the village chiefs of each village."

"What did you say?" No matter how calm Gu Junchen was, he was deeply shocked.

"The rice is transported too far from the capital, and the Northwest Army Camp is your army, and the Northwest Region is the best place to provide food for the Northwest Army Camp." Li Luo said.

"You..." Gu Junchen looked at Li Luo, even though he had thousands of words, his heart was filled with emotion.He hugged Li Luo tightly into his arms. This person was the most precious treasure.

It took two days from Songling County to the northwest border.The border county is different from Songling County. The border county suffers from wind and sand all the year round, so the people on the border are a little sad.The folk customs on the border are relatively open, and there are some characteristics of modern nations in it.

"The border consists of three parts." Gu Junchen introduced, "One is the county seat, the other is the border army, and the other is the military family area."

"There is a family area here?" Li Luo was curious.

"Otherwise, where do the soldiers live?" Gu Junchen said with a smile, "When there is no war, although the soldiers are at the border, they don't have to be on duty every day to feed the wind and sand. They are on a five-day rotation system. Those with family members live in the family area, and those without family members Some of them live in the barracks. Because the soldiers are relatively poor, and some of them don’t even have military pay, so some of them become door-to-door sons-in-law here.”

"I brought back a sum of money this time." Li Luo said, "It's Chinese New Year, let's give some military pay to soldiers with families."

Gu Junchen was silent for a while: "After you go back, let you take care of the property of Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Okay." Li Luo was not polite.

Gu Junchen is not a person who knows how to take care of family property. He is not interested in making money, and his ambition is not here.Therefore, the property of Prince Qi's Mansion has always been managed by Gu Steward, who was born as an eunuch, and it was very hard to learn how to manage the property.

"How much money did you bring this time?" Gu Junchen heard that his tone was serious, and felt that the money he brought should be quite a lot.

Li Luo stretched out a finger.

"10 taels?" Gu Junchen asked.

Li Luo raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's 10 taels?"

"I'm smart." Gu Junchen said.

"Hmph." Li Luo snorted coldly.

"Did you know? The Northwest Army...hasn't paid military salaries for seven years." Gu Junchen's voice was a bit heavy, "Since the civil strife seven years ago, the imperial court was very poor, so the army's military salaries have been in arrears. The army is extremely harsh, if it weren't for the soldiers of the Northwest Army who have a deep feeling for home and your father, I'm afraid they would have rebelled long ago."

"Seven years?" The sum of the military pay is a huge number.

"Each soldier has five taels of silver a year, and seven years is 35 taels." Gu Junchen said, and asked slightly teasingly, "My little lord, how do you divide your 10 taels of silver?"

Li Luo's heart itched when he heard the sound of "My Little Lord", as if a feather was gently passing by.

"It's not what you owe, so what does it have to do with you?" Li Luo said, "We just need not to default on it from now on." The words "we" made His Royal Highness Qi's heart itch. "Then...you took care of the Northwest Army, but you took care of me, too?"

Just as Li Luo was about to say something, the carriage stopped.

"My lord, my lord, the general's mansion is here." Jun Yi said.

Gu Junchen's face suddenly became pale.

When Gu Junchen got off the carriage, he deliberately stared at Jun for a long time, and Jun Yi thought he had something on his face. "Let Meng Delang show you your eyes later," Gu Junchen said.

"What's wrong with the subordinate's eyes?" Jun Yi stretched out his hand to touch it, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with his own eyes.

"The eyes are not good." Gu Junchen said, then turned around and hugged Li Luo from the carriage.

Li Zhongming got the news and ran out of the general's mansion with big steps and fast speed. He was eager to see Li Luo, not his son Li Changcheng.When he reached the door and saw Li Luo, his excitement gradually calmed down.

Li Luo also saw him, saw the eagerness on his face. "Uncle Li." Li Luo called out to him.

"Master." Li Zhongming's voice was slightly hoarse.Seeing that Li Luo was safe, he was relieved.

Li Changcheng stood aside, he thought he was raised by his stepfather.

Then Li Zhongming finally noticed him. He walked up to Li Changcheng and patted his son on the shoulder: "Finally grown up, married and established a business. You have protected the young master very well. Dad is very happy."

"En." Li Changcheng replied.On the surface it was nothing, but in fact he was very happy. It is a very happy thing for a 16-year-old boy to be recognized by his respected father.Li Changcheng respects Li Zhongming very much because of Li Zhongming's loyalty to Li Xu.This father, who can only read a few words, has no schooling, and was born as a beggar, has made it into a fourth-rank vanguard general today. The efforts he has put in are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Changcheng is proud to have such a father.

"Go in." Gu Junchen took Li Luo's hand and stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion.

"Master may not remember, you lived here for a year." Li Zhongming said suddenly, "You learned to call father here, you are here, waiting for Master Hou to come back from the barracks every day."

Li Luo stopped in his tracks and looked around in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Gu Junchen looked down at him, only to find that Li Luo was already in tears. "Luoer."

Li Luo shook his head, and he wiped away his tears in embarrassment: "I don't know, I have a feeling and familiarity with this place that I have never had before." He has no memory of the original owner living here, but for some reason, He will feel so familiar with this general's mansion.

It was as if he had seen every corner of this place with his own eyes.

Li Luo withdrew his hand and jogged.From the door to the inside, he really has no memory.But every threshold, every corner, he seems to have passed.

"Luoer, here, here...Father is back."

A voice he had never heard before suddenly came to his mind, and Li Luo turned around abruptly, looking at the gate of the General's Mansion.Tears stayed again.He seemed to be here countless times, waiting for Li Xu to come back.

"Uncle Li." Li Luo said, "I seem to remember something, but I can't remember anything. I remember here, I remember sitting on the steps here, waiting for my father to come back, but... I have no memory." One year old The child can already walk.

Li Zhongming's eyes turned red: "The young master speaks earlier than ordinary children, and he will start calling for people at five months. The young master also walks earlier than ordinary children, so I like to wait here for Master Hou, and when Master Hou returns later, I will pester Master Hou to take you out to play."
